Great looking detail and a lovely paint job as always. I remember making the old Airfix kit of this in 1/72nd and being impresed with the cannon! Slightly more basic level of detail in that one though!

Great job so far Al! Nice work on the pit...

Looking really good so far mate. Great work on the cockpit. What camo will you be doing it in?

Cheers

Sorry Al, somehow this has slipped under the net.

Very nice cockpit and nice to see an 'Oddball' for a change!

Hi Al

Very clean build so far - great work. I'm completely unfamiliar with this aircraft so I'm curious to see the finished thing.

What role did this aircraft fulfill - ground attack?

Cheers

Paul. Was totally ground attack. If you do a quick read up about it you'll see it was really the first A-10 Warthog of it's time. The pilot was in a protective 'tub' and the firepower was massive.

Ah... I think I know where I have seen this aircraft - in a Blitz Kreig computer game! (May have been some other computer war strategy game but you get my drift). Seem to remember it making short work of T-34s although I couldn't remember what the aircraft was called.

Your paint scheme sounds really cool, looking forward to the finished thing.

Cheers

Weathered the exhausts and added a brake line to one u/c leg today.

Bit of pre-shading gone on now.

Looking good mate and the camo sounds like it will be impressive.

Cheers Kresten. On paper this is a simple build but i'm finding the more i advance/get experience in modelling, i plan things which mean i have to take things slower. Which isn't a bad thing i might add. Before i would have built it all up and then painted it but if i was to do this with this model then the masking off of certain parts would be a nightmare and trying to paint around them.

Guess modelling is a continual learning process
